The Easiest Way to Get Rid of Trump...

And no, it is not what you are thinking. Shame on you. We are Democrats, the true Pro-Life party.

There is one reason Trump will campaign like the biggest bull moose with the most terrible case of heat in the entire history of moosedom (see Hunter S. Thompson who once compared presidential primary candidates to bull moose in heat). Because, thanks to Citizens United, he can rake in lots and lots of semi-legal campaign money in exchange for promises of even more border walls. Now that he is the incumbent, he will have extra special powers to make promises in exchange for lots and lots of what he loves best--money! And this time, there is a very good chance that Russia will not be able to hack the election, and Trump may get to retire to Trump Tower Moscow with a huge nest egg of money given in exchange for promises he will never have to keep.

It is all about the money. So, if there is no money, Trump has no reason to stay in DC. How do we eliminate the financial incentive to run again? We overturn Citizens United. Meaning the ball is in Chief Justice Roberts' court. Dude, Trump is your fault. What are you going to do about him?

... we can't do it. Only SCOTUS can do that, and first they have to agree to revisit the 2010 ruling. The way things are on SCOTUS right now, do you think that will happen? It might be easier for the House to write all-new campaign reform legislation than to get CU overruled.

Roberts and GoreMuch and 4FCavanaugh (along with Alito and Scalia side-kick) will not be the solution. They are all becoming multi-millionaires through just being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I wouldn't think that Putine would really want the orange-asshole living in the new USSR. I'm sure Poutine can find a convenient spot for Donnie-boy to rest his weary bones. Perhaps a nice spot overlooking a Siberian tundra that _might_ turn into the biggest golf course in the whole universe!

But I can see the money transactions being a beady glint in his tiny eye.
